<h3>The answer is:</h3><h2>Hypothesis</h2>

A theory is an educated guess and so is a hypothesis. They both have limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

Many cells make and use an enzyme, called catalase, to facilitate the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The products of

Len [333]

Answer:

A. It decreases the activation energy needed to start the reaction

Explanation:

Organic catalyst which speed up the rate of organic chemical reaction is living cells are called enzymes.They have specific reaction site called active sites.This must be in prefect shape with the substrate for the organic chemical reaction to take place

When this occurs the minimum amount of energy of reaction to activate or stimulate the the atoms and molecules of the substrate to undergo chemical reaction is lowered.This energy of reaction is celled activation energy.

Catalase thought its active sites lowers the activation energy so that the molecules of H2O2 could break down to C02 and H2 faster,thereby reducing the time for theses product to form.The is the general roles of enzyme.To increase the rate of chemical reaction,by reducing the activation energy.

A bat species (species 1) lives in a city. Another bat species (species 2) established a population in that same city after some

ddd [48]

Answer:

Roosting areas in buildings of any height are the resource partitioning of both bat species.

Explanation:

The fundamental niche refers only to physic conditions in which a species can live and survive in the absence of any interaction with other species.

The realized niche refers to the restricted conditions in which a species can live and survive as a result of environment physic characteristics and the interaction with other species.

Competitive exclusion refers to the exclusion of the inferior competitor by the superior competitor when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche. In this case, the effective niche of the dominant species completely occupies the fundamental niche of the inferior competitor.

Resources partitioning refers to one dominant species monopolizing the resources, and the other inferior species use resources -partially or completely-, migrates or get extinguished.

A way in which species can divide resources is by living in different habitat areas. These species might eat the same food, and can roost in different places within the same habitat. This resource partitioning and differentiation in the function of their physic location allows both species to coexist more effectively.

In the present example, both bat species can coexist in the same city but the weaker bat species (species 1) roost at the top of the shorter buildings while dominant species (species 2) roost at the top of the highest buildings.

How was the brushtail possum transported to its new ecosystem?

ira [324]

The common brushtail possum was introduced to New Zealand in 1837 to establish a fur industry, but in the mild subtropical climate of New Zealand, and with few to no natural predators, it thrived to the extent that it became a major agricultural and conservation pest.
